I saw The Grey by myself and I loved it. I watched it again with friends after it came out on DVD and they totally ruined it for me.

The only two movies I've seen alone are Interstellar and The Grey.

The Judge was my first movie alone. It was me and a few old ladies. It was amazing!

Have you ever gone to a movie alone... and then realized no one else is in the theater? It's like your own private screen. Except when it's a horror flick and then you're totally getting the fear.

The trick is to going on a weekday for the first showing of the day, my theater has an early bird special for $4.50 for a 9 am show, NO ONE EVER GOES , Avengers : Age of Ultron was 10x better without hearing 100 normies munch popcorn simultaneously

This. I did exactly this when the first Avengers film came out. It was amazing. Hardly anyone around to ruin it. It was a great time.

I saw Mockingjay on a Friday showing around 12 pm. It was opening day and there were seriously only 5 other people there. It was fantastic.

NORMIES, GET OUT.

I did this for Paranormal Activity 4, say what you will about the franchise but when you're alone in the cinema and it's on a huge screen in front of you it's bloody scary.

I saw Toy Story 3 by myself, probably the worst movie to see alone...

Yes! Interstellar was the first movie I watched alone, also, since all of my friends had already watched it and I didn't want them to inadvertently give anything away. I'm thinking of doing the same with Jurassic World.

That's why I sit alone in front of my PC/TV and watch movies. I love the cinema, but people like to be assholes and talk or text or whatever. Fuck them. I want to enjoy the fucking movie, that's why I'm here. If you wanna talk, get the fuck out.

/r/interstellar. Still active today even though the movie came out ages ago.

It was my first alone movie too! I took myself on a date for Chinese mall food and a movie (SO was at a conference) and I drank right around 40oz water before I sat down at the theater. I didn't even realize I had to pee until the credits rolled- and that's a 3hr long film. What an amazing experience, I was so involved in it. I've been going alone every once in a while since.

I saw the Incredibles, everyone else wanted to see Oceans whatever's the number was at the time. I didn't, told them I'd wait for them since mine got out earlier. I came out satisfied, they came out disappointed.
